My son's girlfriend returned from a ski trip to Utah with an idea she experienced in a Park Cities' bath and body shop: Create a do it yourself Spa Deli. Taking that suggestion to heart, I started researching exactly how to do that. It was not easy or cheap to make the changes and bring in products that would fit the concept.
I think I was making the idea too complex for what it really is. I had almost all the bulk products anyway; I simply had to decide how to market it. In comes Don, the master designer of all displays! He took the idea along with my thoughts about how I wanted to place merchandise, and made a display table that would hold bucket inserts. Then I went to the restaurant supply store for containers to hold the salts, lotions, crushed herbs, clays, and oils. Voila!
There are some things I still have to work out (like a paper towel holder for messes), but for the most part, the spa is working and offering customers the opportunity to make their own product. In the process, they also learn about the different bases and carrier oils and how they work on the skin. I love this business!
